No one can predict the future with absolute certainty. Today there are several possible oil price scenarios that have a credible market development path, but none of these can be confidently called a prediction and used in isolation for planning purposes.

Global Insight's newly enhanced annual Global Petroleum Outlook presents three long-term oil market scenarios—Market Remanaged, Supply Constrained, and Cornucopia—each focused on:

• Future demand
• OPEC and non-OPEC production
• Non-conventional oil production
• OPEC spare capacity
• The price paths that would ensue

These 20-year scenario forecasts are supplemented with regular "signposts" updates indicating how and where oil markets are moving. This combination of in-depth analysis and ongoing assessment updates offers an independent, comprehensive and unbiased long-term oil outlook.

• Annual report and access via Global Insight's Web site
• Quarterly conference calls discussing relevant market updates and signpost monitoring, as well as a summary presentation and in-depth discussion of the main report
• Interim update report
